The F-Cell's clean emissions come from its fuel of choice, hydrogen. A fuel cell generates electricity that is either used to directly power the electric motor or stored in a lithium ion battery pack for later use. Its maximum output is about 100 kW or 136 horsepower.

Meanwhile, the F-Cell's interior is on par with what our European friends have come to expect from a compact Mercedes-Benz: high quality materials and a cabin tech package based on M-B's COMAND system.
